First (and only) design sketch of the main
characters.
For "Kewl's" (left) design I was trying to strike a
balance between a parody of someone
trying to look cool and someone the reader could
eventually sympathize with.
For the transition from sketchbook to comic I tried to
make him less bully-like
(and more sympathetic) by subtracting some pounds and
adding some facial
expressions of a less intimidating nature.

Thumbnails, layouts and additional pre-production
sketches.
As you can probably guess by the rough/unfinished
character designs I'm not the type
of person who likes to dedicate a ton of time to this
process. Basically my aim here is to
determine the framing of each panel, the placement of
text and the general look of the
characters before jumping into the main event where I
feel I can work out the finer
details as they arise.

Print version of WSC. Ideal for reading to
strangers beyond the confines of your computer room. :)
